Wendy WaddellUncle Pete, Matt, Diane and kids: I'm so sorry about the passing of Auntie Jean. While I can't be there in person this week, you are not far from my thoughts and prayers. I have so many great memories of my aunt - visits at the farm, last year's visit in London, and her love of her garden and her dogs. I'm so glad that she was able to be so close to her precious grand babies that I know she loved so much. May she Rest In Peace now that her struggles are over.

Dear Peter, Matthew & family, sorry to hear of Jean's passing. Gerald has fond memories of his cousin Jean especially from their time growing up on neighbouring farms. He often tells a story of he & Jean hitching their horses up to a cart & them getting away on them for an exciting ride. We hope that good memories will provide some comfort to you and your family in this difficult time.
